The article deals with manipulation in Czech schools. It is an output of international project „Teacher in post-socialistic countries as a manipulator and a victim in the context of education policy and pedagogical activity“. Manipulation is here defined as a special type of influence exerted intentionally on a person, which is motivated by goals of the manipulator and which objectifies the person being under the influence of the manipulator. The core of the article is the analysis of the relationship between some characteristics of primary and secondary school teachers (gender, years of practice, type of school …) and their (non)manipulative behaviour. A set of school-related statements and hypothetical situations were presented to teachers. The degree of (dis)agreement with the statements and the solutions of the hypothetical situations show different approaches of teachers to education and their different behaviour to pupils, colleagues and headmasters. The ordered probit model was used to analyze the relationship between (non)manipulative and victimizing behaviour of respondents and their personal characteristics.

Citizenship education has undergone transforma-tion since 1989 when democratic changes in Slovakia began. Our research of secondary school students in 2005 and 2007 confirmed that academic subjects such as Citizenship Education and Social Studies have taken important position in the formal education of students about parliamentary democracy and citizens participation in political processes.

Due to the 2003 Act of School Self-Government, student councils in secondary schools can be established and it is this framework where the informal education of students takes place. In 2005 such councils existed in as many as 50 % of secondary schools in Slovakia. Our surveys of participation of secondary school students in school self-governments revealed that a kind of participatory pyramid is being formed which reflects the logics of participatory democracy. Data of surveys in 2005 and 2007 revealed similar trends. About 75 % of secondary schools students in our samples replied that were informed about the existence of students council in their school, 30 % students took part in the school council elections, and approximately 11 % of secondary school students ran in the students school council elections.
